10 General principles guiding actions of officers under the scheme
This section sets out the principles that must be taken into account by the Operator and other officers of the scheme when taking action under, or for the purposes of, the scheme.
Redress under the scheme should be survivor‑focussed.
Redress should be assessed, offered and provided with appropriate regard to:
what is known about the nature and impact of child sexual abuse, and institutional child sexual abuse in particular; and
the cultural needs of survivors; and
the needs of particularly vulnerable survivors.
Redress should be assessed, offered and provided so as to avoid, as far as possible, further harming or traumatising the survivor.
Redress should be assessed, offered and provided in a way that protects the integrity of the scheme.
